RalphWilson'sNewWar Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Best to include them all so to avoid favoritism or signs of bias. ? While it’s seemingly been several generations of hearing the same old adage...patience with QBs or it takes time or it’s a “process”. The sudden jump in play from their recent contemporaries has put tremendous pressure on all 5 2018 1st Round QBs entering Season 2. There have been 5 QBs taken 1st Round in 2016 and 2017. Jared Goff, Carson Wentz, Mitchell Trubisky, DeShaun Watson, Patrick Mahomes. Each QB rocketed upward in Year 2. Seeing large improvements in Comp. %, Yards, TDs AND Each QB led their team to Division Titles in their 2nd Seasons. so are those the realistic Expectations or is that a realistic bar to set for the 5 QBs of the 2018 Draft in Year 2?
McNubbins Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 I don't care about the other rookies, but for Allen it all depends what the Bills put around him. He will get better, but if he's still throwing to Zay Jones and Robert Foster with the current oline protecting him he won't go far. 1
billspro Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 That will by my expectation for Allen. I want 60%, 4000 yards, 30+ total TDs, and an AFCE title. The talent is there to make it happen.
H2o Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 If the OL gets fixed I expect Allen to be much better. Not only because he won't be running for his life all the time, but because we will have a rushing attack again. The rest? Mayfield is going to be better. I still think Darnold is a Romo type, which is good for the Jets. Rosen needs an OL more than us, but I expect him to be serviceable at least. Jackson needs a lot of work throwing the football, but I expect him to be a dynamic athlete until he gets injured.
All I Need is Hope Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 At least 58% accuracy (assuming oline and receiver upgrades), at least 3500 yds, 2:1 td to int.. If he's in the mid-50's next year, really need to decide if he can ever succeed (succeed = deep into the playoffs, winning games when you have to throw it 40+ times).
PlayoffsPlease Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 I expect Allen to be the NFL MVP next year, leading the Bills to the championship game.

The Frankish Reich Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) This isn't the exact thread for it, but ... Baker Mayfield is damn good. Expectations for 2019? One of the Top 5 QBs in the NFL. I officially want the Ravens to win this one because I hate the Steelers and want them knocked out, but I have to admit I'm pulling for the Browns ....
